Five Reasons to Buy an Xbox One

Console Monster writes: "Come November, both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One will be on sale, over seven years since their predecessors hit the shop shelves.

Despite the four month wait, gamers are already taking sides over the next-generation of consoles in a similar fashion to The Twilight Saga..."

I agree with you on all five of those reasons. The exclusives look amazing. And the entertainment system is actually looking like like something i would use in my free time, super bowl parties, and just watching T.V.

darthv723925d ago

there is only 1 reason that matters to me. Desire.

its the same reason I have for getting a ps4 as well. no other forms of justification are needed or warranted.

golding893925d ago

No one can argue that xbox one has more features than ps4. Ps4 has better specs that's for sure. Though differences in graphics for both system will be almost non-existent but the xbox one seriously is capable of doing so much more with kinect.
Why not get the all in one for 100 bucks more?

I already got a ps3. why should i get the ps4 with just a better spec? :-/

meatysausage3925d ago

The PS4 does a lot. It too is just as much as an enterntainment console as the xbox is, just without the cable tv. It just doesnt really get marketed in such a way and for various reasons. Get both and be happy

LOL good let all the uninformed doggies get the xbox one more features please name them inb4 someone says its a dev kit if so what games have you made before not counting the ones on mincraft.

wynams3925d ago

Five reasons not to ...
DDR5 > DDR3
PS+ > Gold
$100 in pocket > Always on kinect
Region Free > Region Locked
Remote Play Vita > Smart Glass

hankmoody3925d ago

Actually, you're off on two big points. The Xbox One is region free. And how many people actually have a Vita as opposed to the number of people who have a smartphone? You really think everyone who buys a PS4 is going to throw another $350 down for a Vita? Yeah, okay.

_QQ_3925d ago

exactly noone wants a dead on arrival handheld.

hankmoody3925d ago

Sorry, I meant $250. Typo!

wynams3925d ago

so your phone that is smart glass compatible was free? Chances are it cost about as much as a Vita.

NEXT!

Thehyph3925d ago (Edited 3925d ago )

Sony has shown smartphone integration in an official video. The only thing the Vita adds is remote play.

I'll be able to use my Android phone as well as my Vita for everything else.

Edit: Obviously not all features of this integration is confirmed yet, but I would expect the smartphone bit to be pretty much the same as smart glass.

NewWhiteFeather3925d ago

@ Wynams, while I don't agree with their comparison of smartphone to vita, almost everyone already has a smart phone purchased for other reasons and the fact that it can be used in conjunction with the system is an extraneous yet nice detail. Your argument holds zero water.

I'll take traditional ram over memory ripped out of a videocard. In case you haven't noticed.. These systems need to do more then render graphics.

2nd one made me laugh.. Xbl>>pan

Its region free and who actually owns a Vita? Smart glass is way more practical.

Your free to believe what you want.. But don't think for a second your opinion is anything more then that, an opinion

pompombrum3925d ago

So you are saying Xbox Live gold is better than PS+? While I agree Xbox Live is better than PSN but PS+ offers far better value for money and pays for itself ten times over for the three months subscription I paid for.

n4rc3925d ago

That's why I said psn. OK it auto corrected to pan.. Lol

PS+ is a game distribution service. Its a completely seperate service from xbl or psn. At least how I see it.

Microsoft doesn't have a competitive product for it to compete with..

And it is a great value provided you want the games offered.. When I had it free after the hack, not one title was worth the download.. But from what I've heard, the selection is much improved and free trials rarely include anything good Lol

So yeah.. Xbl > psn
But PS+ is its own animal without real competition

iamnsuperman3925d ago (Edited 3925d ago )

"PS+ is a game distribution service. Its a completely seperate service from xbl or psn. At least how I see it."

But PSN+ is compulsory for the PS4 like live is for the One so they are in the same boat as they both do the same thing except PSN+ offers the distribution service and Live doesn't. It doesn't matter how you see it as they are in competition with each other. PSN is like the Silver account for the Xbox One

wynams3925d ago

PS+ gave 64 free games over a 1 year period from June 2012 - June 2013 and costs the same as XBL Gold.

Laugh it up numbones!

DDR5 was chosen to avoid latency issues with the Cloud. PS+ is just barely catching up to XBL, get serious. Xbox is no longer region locked.

Knowledge is power.

wynams3925d ago

XBone will not have servers available at launch in several major countries ... NEXT!

hankmoody3925d ago

But in this day and age, who DOESN'T have a smartphone?

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5069d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5069d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5069d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495069d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5069d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5069d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
